Court trial into November 2015 jihadist attacks on Paris begins

A court trial begun on Wednesday into the November 2015 jihadist attacks on Paris, which left some 130 people killed and hundreds wounded when gunmen with suicide vests targeted six bars and restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall, and a sports stadium. Salah Abdeslam, the 31-year old French-Moroccan believed to be the only surviving member of the group suspected of carrying out the attacks, was among 20 men on trial.

The attacks took place during the evening of November 13, 2015, and have left deep scars on the French national psyche.
